Ruins of the past

In the Buddhist world.

Originally known as the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, it is now in the area renamed City of Night by Chu Qiguang.

Under the dark sky, the Night City was shrouded in firelight.

This was originally the key development area planned by Chu Qiguang.

And after possessing Jin Nu's fire code communication, this place has become the information center of Chu Qiguang's forces, which can be called the brain of the entire organization.

Here, you can learn about various intelligence information coming from all corners of the organization through Jin Nu.

Jinnu can also send out fire codes to deliver messages to various locations in Lingzhou and Shuzhou.

At this moment, in a temporary conference room in Night City.

Zhou Yujiao raised a glass of water and said to the people and demons in front of her: "Everyone, my little sister Zhou Yujiao is Chu Qiguang's biological sister."

"I have always been in charge of the Buddhist world under my eldest brother, and I am considered a bit thin-faced in our organization."

Below Zhou Yujiao, Chu Qiguang's leaders gathered together. They were all invited by Jiaojiao to attend this meeting.

Qiao Zhi, Bai Mi, Lulu and other monster veterans.

There are also representatives of the human race such as Chen Gang, Wang Cailiang, Zhang Jitian, etc.

There are also workshop representatives such as Shisanniang and Qiuyuebai.

There are also more than a dozen monsters with different physical and mental abilities, but all of them are powerful, all of whom have joined Yaoyin Village in recent years.

After studying at Yaoyin Village School and being trained by Chu Qiguang, he has changed his mind and become a demon again.

At this moment, these leaders were gathered together, all staring at Zhou Yujiao in front of them, with expressions on their faces that were either curious, doubtful, or serious... Obviously they had different thoughts in their hearts.

Only Qiao Zhi lowered his head, as if he had fallen asleep.

In fact, he and Zhou Yujiao had used human-cat fusion to control Jiaojiao's body and the rest of the world together.

But outsiders didn't know this. They could only see Zhou Yujiao continue to say: "I have the honor to gather with you today, so I dare to make some comments."

"Everyone is my senior, even though they have different origins, different ethnic groups, and even some have grudges.'

'But since I came to my brother's command, I just want to achieve success or glory and wealth. "

"My brother is currently practicing in seclusion, and the time for his release has not yet been determined."

"Then during his absence, everyone should be united and united."

"But as the saying goes, a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head, so I would like to suggest that we choose a leader today who can lead the overall situation so that all the brothers below will have something to follow and will not fall apart and fight with each other. "

"If you have someone in mind, you can speak freely."

After Zhou Yujiao finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet. In the silence, a craftsman weakly raised his hand: "I propose thirteen..."

Before he could finish saying the name he wanted to give, a shadow as huge as a mountain had already covered the venue. It was none other than the demon Buddha known as Hercules.

Just listen to Hercules opening his mouth and shouting, the vague roaring sound swept along with the strong wind, and it seemed to form a vague sentence:

"I choose Zhou Yujiao! She is the sister of the God of War! She also has unexpected wisdom! With her as the leader, we will definitely be able to develop well in the future."

Looking at the majestic Hercules in front of them, like the Hercules holding up the sky, everyone present felt the substantive pressure.

This strong sense of existence pressed on everyone's head, making them even speechless.

In particular, Hercules not only has a body shape, but also has entry-level combat power.

In the absence of Chu Qiguang, Hercules is the strongest combat force present, enough to suppress everyone.

Many people and monsters present knew that Hercules was controlled by Zhou Yujiao.

If Hercules yelled at this moment, it must be Zhou Yujiao who was behind it.

Zhou Yujiao glanced at everyone present and said sheepishly: "Are there no other candidates?"

"Everyone spoke enthusiastically."

"Oh, since everyone chooses me..."

At this moment, bursts of thunder exploded in the sky, and Chu Qiguang descended from the sky and came to the field.

He glanced at everyone present in surprise and asked doubtfully: "Why are you all here? It should be working time now, right?"

"Brother! You are out of seclusion!"

Zhou Yujiao immediately jumped up, trotted all the way to Chu Qiguang, and whispered: 'I thought you were trapped in a ghost realm, and I was uniting everyone to save you...'

Qiao Zhi also said quickly in his heart: 'Chu Qiguang, Jiaojiao said that you are trapped in the ghost realm, so she and I are thinking of working together to control the overall situation and mobilize our strength to help you...'

Chu Qiguang glanced at everyone, and arranged for everyone to disperse and return to their work stations, leaving only Jiaojiao and Qiao Zhi.

"You've done a good job. If something happens to me and I'm not around, just do this."

Chu Qiguang nodded. Zhou Yujiao is his sister, and she controls the Buddhist world and Hercules. Elders such as Chen Gang and Wang Cailiang will definitely support her.

Together with Qiao Zhi, who secretly joined forces, she is indeed the most suitable person to take charge of the overall situation in the absence of Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang looked at Zhou Yujiao and thought in his heart: "But fortunately I came back in time. Otherwise, although my sister can temporarily support the situation, if this guy really takes charge of the overall situation, I don't know how much money will be wasted and how much trouble will be made." trouble. ’

Zhou Yujiao sighed in her heart: 'Oh, I have changed from the leader of the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce back to the eldest lady of the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce...'

Qiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Chu Qiguang is back...otherwise I would have had no choice but to push Zhou Yujiao to the top, which is scary just thinking about it..."

Next, Chu Qiguang called Jin Nu and listened to the reports from various places in the past few days.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he said goodbye to Qiao Zhi and Zhou Yujiao for the time being, and flew directly to the Eagle Demon in the direction of Chaoyao Mountain.

"Lin Lan! This time I must completely subdue you!"

…

Chaoyao Mountain, big library.

"Xiaolan, can you lie down?"

"Try to relax and don't push."

"Don't worry, I promise it won't hurt."

"Just a little, a little."

"Then I'm here..."

Lin Lan sat in front of the desk, holding her chest with one hand and dragging her chin with the other. A pair of straight and slender legs were crossed on the desk, revealing her graceful curves.

But her bright, white cheeks were full of impatience at the moment.

A pair of beautiful noses also wrinkled slightly. Lin Lan looked at Chu Qiguang in front of her and said, "What on earth are you going to do?"

Chu Qiguang snorted in his heart: 'I haven't trained this woman for too long, and now she always maintains this bad-tempered state, it's better to be Lin Lan in her obedient state. ’

‘It seems like we need to bring her back to her obedient state first. ’

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang coaxed: "I miss you, Xiaolan. I came here specifically to take you down the mountain."

Lin Lan snorted and looked at Chu Qiguang disdainfully: "If you want to leave here, just walk out. You clearly wanted to use some Taoist magic on me just now."

Having said this, Lin Lan suddenly smiled and stood up.

She walked up to Chu Qiguang with her long legs, licked her lips and said, "If you like to play Taoist tricks on me, I can't play with you."

Lin Lan looked at Chu Qiguang with interest, as if looking at an interesting toy: "But you have to beg me."

After hearing what the other party said, Chu Qiguang gritted his teeth and secretly thought of trouble.

And when he looked at the other party's figure, he felt that Lin Lan's body shape seemed to have changed now, becoming more slender, powerful, and more enchanting than before.

‘Lin Lan’s condition is really getting worse. I’m afraid not only his personality, but also his appearance are becoming more and more similar to his previous state. ’

‘And this personality in life was really troublesome. ’

Although Chu Qiguang has now practiced "Ten Thousand Ghosts Record" and reached the realm of nine rings.

But as he said before, realm and combat power are not completely equal.

Especially for the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Record", which is an entry-level method, it really begins after it is practiced. Only by surrendering powerful enough ghosts can a large amount of combat effectiveness be truly improved.

In "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts", one of the ways to subdue ghosts is to directly cast spells on ghosts that have no power to resist.

This requires weakening the ghost to the point where it has no power to resist, or the ghost itself is voluntarily surrendered and does not resist.

Lin Lan in this state was obviously not a ghost without any resistance, nor was he at the mercy of Chu Qiguang.

‘Want to fight with Lin Lan? ’

'Although after completing "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts", I gained five more transformations into the Tao, but if I fight...'

Chu Qiguang recalled Lin Lan's combat prowess and shook his head slightly: 'I am not sure of victory. On the contrary, it will damage the relationship with Lin Lan and make the next thing more difficult. ’

'Let's try again...'

Next, Chu Qiguang started to say nice things, but he still couldn't coax Lin Lan back to his normal obedient state.

‘It seems that this woman’s condition has been getting worse and worse, and most of the time she has been returning to the state she was in when she was alive. ’

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang has decided to use another method.

‘Xiaolan, I’ll go out and say hello to the teachers at Chaoyaoshan, and then I’ll pick you up and leave. ’

Before leaving the big library, Chu Qiguang stood at the door and watched the gatekeeper slowly stretch out his palm.

I saw the energy and blood surging in the palm of my hand, turning into a line of blood words.

"I have already mastered "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts"."

"Where are Xiaolan's bones?"

Subduing the ghosts after resurrecting the corpses is another method of subduing ghosts in "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts".

Corpse bones have an extraordinary effect on ghosts and are extremely important.

This is true even for powerful ghosts like Lin Lan.

The gatekeeper was slightly startled when he saw this scene: ‘Writing? Could it be that she was afraid that Xiaolan would hear it? ’

Then after seeing the content of the words clearly, he immediately looked at Chu Qiguang in shock.

‘Didn’t this kid become a Taoist Martial God in less than a year? ’

‘You actually mastered “Ten Thousand Ghosts Record” again? ’

But the gatekeeper did not answer Chu Qiguang's question immediately, but showed hesitation in his eyes.

‘Are you going to hand Lin Lan over to this guy? ’

Although Lin Lan was his elder when he was alive, Lin Lan after turning into a ghost...it was the caretaker who watched him grow up.

In his heart, Lin Lan's identity as a daughter is more important than that of an elder.

The gatekeeper's face was full of displeasure at the thought of handing Lin Lan over to Chu Qiguang.

‘But now Xiaolan’s condition is getting worse and worse. If she continues like this, she will lose control sooner or later, right? ’

After a long time, he sighed and wrote a line of words on the palm of Chu Qiguang's hand.

‘You have to treat Xiaolan well. ’

Chu Qiguang nodded and said, "Don't worry, if my sister and she fall into the water in the future, I will save her first."

The janitor always thought this was an obedient thing to say, but Xiaolan's current state really couldn't afford to delay her, and he had no choice.

He wrote line after line with the blood on Chu Qiguang's palm.

Chu Qiguang looked at the content above and thought to himself: 'Sure enough, it is on Chaoyao Mountain. ’

So after Chu Qiguang left the big library, he followed the gatekeeper's instructions and walked towards the back mountain.

This road is becoming more and more remote and inaccessible.

On Chaoyao Mountain in winter, there are gradually no roads as far as the eye can see.

The ground is covered with weeds and dry woods covered with snowflakes.

As Chu Qiguang walked among them, he felt like he was gradually drifting away from human time and gradually entering a real wilderness.

Just walking along the roadside, Chu Qiguang finally reached a mountain peak and came under a huge pine tree.

That pine tree was different from the other pine trees Chu Qiguang saw along the way.

Although the leaves are growing outward like needles, their entire body is black.

Black needles grow on the pine trees, like a mountain of knives.

Before he got close, Chu Qiguang could feel waves of coldness coming from the black pine, and he absorbed the coldness one by one with the rotation of his ghost eyes.

Chu Qiguang recalled the gatekeeper's instructions, came behind Heisong, and flicked out his fingertips, bringing up streaks of flaming sword energy.

Like the tip of a knife slicing through tofu, a large hole was cut into the black pine in front of him in an instant.

Chu Qiguang took out a jade box from his mouth. The surface of the jade box was covered with yellow talisman paper. The various runes on it were connected together, binding the jade box like chains.

‘This is it. ’

Chu Qiguang now arranged a formation on the ground, set up an altar, and began preparations for salvation.

Then he slowly uncovered the talisman and opened the jade box.

As the lid opened, a finger bone appeared in front of Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang muttered a mantra softly in his mouth: "If you die here, who will be alone with you?"

"If you die here, who will be alone?"

"If Yumei dies here, who can compete with Dudan?"

"After a hundred years of age, return to his home..."

…

In the large library, Lin Lan, who was sitting leisurely, suddenly raised his head and looked at the location of the jade box.

'This is……'

She felt a strong call at this moment, and there was some kind of hidden power calling her.

Lin Lan stood up suddenly.

The gatekeeper on the side had been observing Lin Lan after Chu Qiguang left.

At this moment, he asked nervously: "What's wrong, Xiaolan?"

Lin Lan tilted his head and said, "Something is calling me..."

The next moment she couldn't hold it in any longer, the space around her began to twist violently. With one step, she turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the big library, then quickly flashed in the direction of Chu Qiguang.

The body that seemed to be formless and without substance burst out at an astonishing speed at this moment.

It took almost a few breaths to arrive in front of Chu Qiguang.

She walked towards Chu Qiguang step by step, listening to the other party's cordial shouts and looking at the rituals set up by the other party.

Two lines of clear tears flowed down from Lin Lan's eyes.

"So that's it...am I already dead..."
